For the love of food
‘I’m going to turn into a burrito soon.’ That was Will last night. I’ll admit, I have been on a bit of a Mexican roll lately. We had it last Tuesday, then twice on the weekend and again last night. In the last 10 days I’ve made 48 tortillas! Last Friday night’s Mexican feast (the [...]
Warm molten chocolate oozes from the center as you glide your spoon through the chocolate cake-like layer. Keep that image in your mind while you read this post ok? If you had to think of your go-to dessert for a serious indulgence what would it be? For me, I can’t go past chocolate fondant or runny [...]
It’s almost instinctive. I can smell it in the air. As soon as the chill arrives, so too does the sweet, rosy fruit and its myriad of dessert combinations. It’s the meeting of the soft, sweet fruit, still with a little bite and the crunchy, golden topping that sucks me in. Serve it to me [...]
The Chocolate Walnut Brownie from Freestyle Tout served with dark chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.
The buttery pastry crumbles like a sandcastle falling and begins to melt as soon as it hits your tongue. The light fluffy filling makes you close your eyes and roll them towards the heavens as you savour every mouthful. Just when you think it can’t get better your teeth burst a bubble of tart fruit.

Ok so I’ve gotten a little bit obsessed with Jamie Oliver recently. Not in a mad stalker way just in an I love his enthusiasm and vigour in the kitchen and his presentation way. He manages to make the simplest things into flavour explosions and somehow piles things onto boards like a work of art. [...]
I’d like you all on your best behaviour today because we have a visitor and she’s very kindly brought us something scrumptious. I met the love Sophie aka Miss Sticky at Eat Drink Blog last year. If you read Sophie’s blog bio you’ll see why I like her. I’d say she believes in the dessert [...]
I wouldn’t even attempt to guess how many baked recipes I’ve tried in the last two years of blogging but it would most probably be a couple of hundred. Sponge cake on the other hand, is a recipe that hasn’t featured much. I think the only one actually to be created in my kitchen was [...]
Today is one of my favourite days of the year. No there are no presents involved but there is Christmas cheer a-plenty. It’s Tree Day! December 1 is the day our Christmas tree goes up and it officially begins to look a lot like Christmas in our little house. I’ve already elfed up the entrance [...]
This time two years and one day ago there was no Claire K Creations. There were blog books, there were brain storming charts there were ideas everywhere but the next day something struck me and Claire K Creations was born and I’ve never looked back. What a wonderful two years it has been. I never [...]
Back when I was a fussy eater, I loved meringue. They were my bakery treat of choice whenever we were given a treat and the coloured ones with sprinkles or dipped in chocolate were always my favourites. Add cream and fruit to it though and I would turn my nose in disgust. Fast forward a [...]
We have a pet. Yes I’m aware that you’re not allowed pets in units, well not in our block anyway, but we did not bring out pet into our home she found us. Her name is Bluey and she’s been with us for about two years. Bluey is a Blue Tongue lizard. According to my [...]
